Man when Tony grinned, you knew his patience was being tested.

[@somegreatbloke]

James Gandolfini's signature grin at the end.

[@Agent1W]

What I call his trollface.

[@somegreatbloke]

Agent1W More like his *"I'm smiling, but if you don't do, what I tell you, then I'll bury you"* face.

[@mmtot]

+somegreatbloke You never see the whites of his eyes in this scene, at the end if you look closely he is wearing black out contacts, it makes him look evil as fuck, real dark shit!

[@Rams4life94]

he's not wearing black out contacts

[@chrishouston3566]

are you high?

[@Burgmannn]

The way James Gandolfini keeps looking at Christopher (Imperioli) at the end there.. My god, no wonder we're all still watching this 10-15 years since it aired.

[@porridge57]

Talk about impulse control.

[@SidB8]

The irony in the title alone.

[@0RobotWarsIsTheBest0]

Sid Bhaduri when it came to business Tony could display impulse control, just not in his personal life. Not fucking Annalisa should be enough to prove this

[@arthurhiroa4238]

lol, the way he walks away :p.

[@JohnLoCicero]

He "teaches" Chris about impulse control by saying "you gotta exercise impulse control."

[@iaintmadatcha]

That grin is so devilish lol even as an actor being on the receiving end of a JG grin how can u not feel like ur getting lined up to be wacked?

[@jakep1979]

Ask Georgio about impulse control of Tony.

[@festealth]

The difference between Tony's impulse control, or lack thereof, compared to Chris is that Tony (at least until the later seasons) doesn't really do things that hurts the business. But Chris is more than willing to go into his own indulgences regardless of the outcome.

[@jakep1979]

festealth Chris promoted over Patsy was Tony's big mistake. He was enough of a fuckup as a soldier and adding more responsibility was the wrong call.

[@joans2403]

That's like being told by an alcoholic to drink less.

[@TemplarX2]

No. Tony's violence is tempered with intelligence and has a purpose. Christopher uses violence mindlessly or for violence sake. It's more like an alcohol vendor telling an alcoholic to drink less. It's ironic but there is a distinction.

[@TapesnCartridges]

What?

[@jimmymeridian5174]

most alcoholics will tell you never to drink.

[@christopherfischer6998]

This scene here is probably James Gandolfini’s finest moment. That little smirk on his face just perfect acting

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

The only reason why Christoper ever got made was because Tony was his uncle. This guy would still be serving drinks at card games like he did in Goodfellas if he wasn't related to a mob boss.

[@Helmuesi911]

OVI-Wan Kenobi oow! You’re outta line kid

[@alfredflores1278]

Lol

[@rickyray2794]

in the flashbacks thats what he was doing, getting ashtrays and serving drinks

[@TapesnCartridges]

Was his cousin along with Tony Blundetto

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

Loll shiiiit after that comley trucking shit in season 1, he probably would have been dead along with Brendan 🤷🏾‍♂️ Chris got a pass cuz of Livia though 😂

[@UnoriginallyInclined]

Jesus, that smile was terrifying

[@jakep1979]

UnoriginallyInclined The smile of a killer who eventually killed Chris.

[@MerlautJones]

The smile he gave Paulie while eating on the boat was even worse.

[@thedoctor9138]

@@jakep1979 You know what was freakish about how he died? He got suffocated to death by Tony after the Car accident. He actually did what he said he ought to do at Chris' Intervention to him. But the freakiest thing about that exchange between them is that he said that Tony was going to die of a Heart Attack. James Gandolfini in real life died of a heart attack. Even though one came true only in fiction it's still crazy how both events actually happened.

[@secondcomingofbast9908]

I love the way Tony hits the door on his way out at the end Lmao.

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

Christopher Moltisanti could have started his own glorified crew consisting of Brendan Filone, Jackie Jr, Sean Gismonte, and Matthew Bevilaqua LOL

Don't forget Benny too!

[@-JackVenom]

"no, you go down there now" 😂 😂

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

Some of the best quotable lines in this show are the ones like this one. Basic dialogue but the delivery makes it gold 😂 another one I like is Paulie saying that’s my favorite bag don’t lose it 😂

[@00_00.1]

Tony, the expert on impulse control

[@jfayiii]

The way Tony wavers the word 'control' communicates that he is barely holding on to his own self control.

[@xyhmo]

Tony's signature shinebox grin at the end.

[@AgilityAgent]

T is the worst guy who can teach someone about impulse control.

[@TapesnCartridges]

t. low test

[@PuddingAtheist]

0:50 LOLOLOL

[@ryannarcisse]

Anyone noticed at the end after Tony smiles he pushes the door open full force?

[@secondcomingofbast9908]

That's my favorite part of this scene. Knocks it opens and otherwise doesn't touch it again on his way out.

[@lorenzobrasco7678]

fuckin Tee always cleanin up after chrissys fukups ahahaha

[@zachcloutier3111]

This is one of the most chilling scenes of the series!

[@chrishouston3566]

it doesnt take much to chill you does it?

[@zachcloutier3111]

I'm a chill kid mostly I rarely get too excited.

[@vaquezartup365]

How is this scene... am i missing something He grabs him by his mouth n has a grin on his face

[@joejoey6608]

Great scene

[@Evolution_10_X]

Love this scene lol.

[@mightymacdiesal12]

Sweating inside a strip joint where the AC us always on. Bad sign for Janes.

[@daauthor6004]

@ little warg Yea, but tony has impulse control at the right times, when it doesn't conflict with money or his job.

[@TheValhalla1989]

Tony should of taught Chrissy the technique of positive visualization via his thoughts.

[@bobstacks8405]

James had one scary ass smile lol

[@310bound]

You gotta exercise shinebox control.

[@MarcV8888]

I think the russian maids wooden leg just sitting on the stage in the back doing nothing would be a riot to see how many people caught it.

[@malcador]

You're the fucking SEC Compliance Officer for Christ sake.

[@ronnieromero7604]

Well to be fair tony did show impulse control here seeing as though christopher should have been severly disiplened over this stunt. I think tony was more than fair towards him.

[@mr.classic6823]

If only They let James be the joker for one Batman movie

[@graffProdigy]

[@yattaguru]

Impulse control? Like Tony exercises when he eats? 😏

[@RustyHeels06]

Because, after all, Tony is so good at controlling his...

[@MarkSmithPhoto]

Am I seeing things or is that a camera man plain as day in the mirror in the first few seconds?

[@AJudgeFredd]

Actually, that guy is not looking anywhere near the point where the camera is, so no, it seems like a guy is filming the strippers.

[@MarkSmithPhoto]

Lieutenant Fred That would still make him a camera man lol

Tony had a very poor relationship with Chris from the start.He wasn't yet as horrible to him as he would be later on but He was a pretty big asshole to his nephew.

Don't fuck with Tone

[@lanrebadmus2166]

💀💀💀

[@realazduffman]

One more scene to show that mob life is mundane. Chris had the most boring job imaginable at the brokerage, but he needed to be there to keep things in line. Not much different from legit business. The boss is often just there to watch things, but has to be there.
